Who Is Montag's Suicide In Fahrenheit 451

Mildred has no hope of resolving the conflicts within herself. Her suicide attempt suggests that her obsession with television is a means to avoid confronting her life. She is a completely cold and distant character. Bradbury portrays Mildred as a shell of a human being, not having any sincere emotional, intellectual, or spiritual substance. Early in the novel, a young neighbor, Clarisse, shocks Guy by asking whether he ever reads the books he burns and whether he is happy.
Clarisse is an odd duck by this new world’s standards. She isn’t into violence or TV. Her interest in odd things is what draws her to Montag.She is an outcast from society because of her odd habits. "I'm antisocial, they say. I don't mix. It's so strange. I'm very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn't it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this." She is unpopular among her peers because she asks "why" instead of "how". Clarisse never tells Montag what to think she just shows him that thinking is an option. She invites him to do it for himself, and he walks through the door she opens when she asks Guy Montag "Are you happy?"
